The Door

Posted on by Marla
For the child of God, death is just a doorway…
Jesus is the door…
And when our spirit leaves our body of flesh
Jesus opens the door and welcomes us home…
Oh, at first, we are apprehensive…
No one wants to leave the comfort of what is known
And many of us have never seen what’s on the other side…
But we’ve experienced new life…
We’ve studied and gone through many tests…
By faith we’ve walked with him and all the rest…
Listened to many sermons, read the Holy Book
And while taking a look, we believe the place called heaven
Will be our eternal home…a new adventure…so, to speak…
Some have even gone there, returned, and said they never wanted to leave
And knowing Jesus, I believe…that what he says is true…
Still it gives the mind something to ponder…
And often we wonder, just what it will be like…
The Holy Book says…But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 New King James Version (NKJV)
You see it’s by the Spirit that we can know for sure…
Yes, it’s a little scary when we think about it with our carnal mind…but be courageous and brave…God has a plan, and when we are called home, we’ll understand…
Don’t be afraid…be at peace…Jesus will be there to open the door…
Everything we’ve lived and loved and accomplished here for him, will take us to a place more real than anything we could have known in this life…
And then…the adventure of our life will truly begin…
Holy Spirit is our guide in this life, in death, and in the life to come! For now, occupy, until then!

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
